Trump takes credit for Hormuz
President Trump told reporters that the fight over the Strait of Hormuz is 'over' and that Iran has agreed to suspend its nuclear program indefinitely.
He claimed that the U.S. naval blockade successfully pressured the Iranian regime into reopening the waterway to commercial traffic.
However, Iranian officials have disputed several of Trump's claims, stating that the reopening is conditional on the ongoing Israel-Lebanon ceasefire.
Critics have compared Trump's triumphalist rhetoric to past 'mission accomplished' claims, noting that a permanent peace deal has yet to be finalized.
